{{{ChiKat}}} I'm so sorry, for the birthday badness and for the fight having to happen at all. Vibing you resolution and healing-ma.
{{{juliana}}} In all this misery, you have such courage (you do, really, even when it feels like you don't -- ask any of us), but it sucks so very badly that you need it. All the punctuation you need, anytime.
Tep, phoo on you, all the way out there in imminent-snow-land. You suck.
Also, when will your mom get her bling kitty? Will you take a picture?
